Nix tries to be too many things with too little resources. As a language it's plagued by very sparse documentation. As an package manager, it still has the same issues with documentation, (compounded by tools providing the same functionality superseding each other) and then it requires maintaining EVERY software package ever created. I think the base idea is great, the language is a little weird (but manageable), the DX is unintuitive and badly documented. The killer reason that made me abandon NixOs is packages not being up to date. I can't fix that and I don't want to spend my life writing my own derivations when the alternative is to use Arch repos + AUR for exotic stuff.
